I Shop For a Living — Here Are the Black-Owned Brands I'm Gifting This Holiday

Actively Black Zipper Performance Hoodie ($75)

For your loved one who never misses their morning run (or who just loves to rock loungewear on the weekends), pick up this zipper hoodie from Actively Black. Founded by former professional basketball player Lanny Smith, the brand is all about Black empowerment and promoting regular physical activity and healthy nutrition.

The beauty of this hoodie is all in the details, from thumb holes to ties on each side so you can adjust the fit. My favorite part is the inscription on the back that reads: "There is greatness in our DNA." Team it with the Actively Black Stealth Performance Joggers ($80) or Actively Black Training Shorts ($50), depending on the weather.
